Two trilobite taxa, Agnostus (Homagnostus)sp. and Pseudagnostus (PseudagnostuJ) ida!is huskissonensissubsp. nov. are described from the upper part of the Huskisson Group, western Tasmania. The only trilobite previously described from this level is the early Idamean (early Late Cambrian) zone fossil Glyptagnostus reticulatus. Palaeontological and stratigraphic evidence suggests that there may be a disconformity of very late Middle Cambrian age (about Lejopyge laevigata III Zone) within the Huskisson Group, which would correspond to a postulated disconformity of similar age from the Dundas Group at Dundas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
